Fire is all Agnes has known during this last two years. With 18 years she enters "The Elite Academy of arts" ready to fulfill her dreams and become successful in her new life. 
Moving to New York is hard, harder if you come from a tiny town. But that doesn't stop Agnes from becoming the best version of herself.
She'll be hit by reality as soon as she steps the academy and will have to learn how to live outside her little bubble.
What will happen when Sebastian, Nikolai and Dominique enter her life? Are they going to create more problems? Is Agnes ready to experience life all by herself? 

"Whatever he said I didn't listen, I was too concentrated on my panic attack I couldn't even register my surroundings. The walls were getting smaller, trapping me inside the classroom and I could already feel the flames embracing us, not letting us leave. 

"Sebastian I don't want to die," "

⚠️ Warning for foul language usage ⚠️ Warning for triggers {PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS "DON'T BELONG"} [Started- May, 25th, 2022] [Ended- July, 20th, 2022] This is an unedited version. Editing is in process "Emma, do you know what happens when someone betrays me?" He says as I notice him slowly, patiently; he ties my hands in front of my eyes with a silk red ribbon. I gulp before asking, "Who betrayed you?" "You! You left me, Emma. You betrayed me; you betrayed my feelings!" He pulls me onto his lap, hooking my now tied hands over his head and his mouth meets with mine. He has me locked against him, not an inch of space separating us. Taking advantage of the position, he finally slides a hand under my dress and I try to wiggle closer, rocking my hips on his lap, needing his touch now. "Now, it's my turn to return your betrayal in favour of my wicked ways." Meeting him that day in the club, made me believe that there are people whom I can trust with my heart. Whom we can care; whom we can love. Emma Lang, an introvert who lives in her house all by herself, closed off from the world and it's people, have frozen food and cereal for meals and writes books for living.

So when they convinces her to come along for a night out she never knew that night at the club will change her life forever. The mysterious man captivated her in ways that she never imagined. Aiden, wasn't a man who let's go of his possessions. Once you are in his arms, there's no escape from the arrogant CEO. Will she allow herself to have a taste of the unknown desire?

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts
47 parts Complete Mature
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears. Alpha Dave let out a low, calloused chuckle that sent chills throughout my body.

Burning Desires by ICraveKink
38 parts Ongoing Mature
They were both so determined to have me. So relentless in their chase. I tried to tell the both of them I couldn't do it. I didn't date. I didn't have sex. I didn't do anything other than what was expected of me. But neither would listen and It was impossible to choose. Both were so completely different. Bleu was calamity. He was whom I craved when I needed quiet and serenity; when I needed to laugh and smile and let go of stress. Bleu was a warm sunset on the horizon of calm waters. An artist whom sought a muse. A free spirit who didn't realize his own potential to make the world a better place. Bleu gave me something I'd never known before. He gave me peace. He gave me a purity. Lucien was the complete opposite; he was tortured and traumatized and so familiar to me. When I needed the voices and the anxieties to disappear, when I needed to feel absolutely nothing but ecstasy, I knew I needed Lucien. He fed a part of me that had been awakened years ago. He fed my anger, my rage, and my fear until I had none left. He also needed someone who understood all that he was, and all that he needed. I had little knowledge of the dating world but they knew that already, and it didn't matter to them. So, I had to do what I had to do in order to protect myself; to keep myself in check and not let my emotions and feelings get too involved. I was only so strong and when two incredible, irresistible, successful men popped up and teased me, taunted me, and begged for me, what the hell was I to do but experience them both... have them both? To have them both and live the lie. Keeping my friends and family whom I'd once shared everything with- on the outside of my personal life. Two chance meetings. One massive lie. And two irresistible men. This would be the biggest challenge Elysia Lockwood had ever faced before.

I felt as butterflies began to swarm in my stomach from the tone of his voice. I then leaned forward and he took that as a sign to seal our lips. Just as I imagined, he lips were incredibly soft. Unlike Angelo, he kissed me with more gentleness. I could taste the wine he had just a few moments ago.

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more.
